DIED IN ROME.
Mr.. r. PetrOvits who Painted the
Kings Portrait.

Kings Portrait.
The following letter has been re-
ceived and is published in full in the
hope that some information may be
obtained Of the deceased gentleman
mentioned therein:
ROMA, September 7, 1887.
EDITORS HERALD: A number of
your valuable paper has just come in
to my hands, and suggests to me the
propriety of addressing you a few lines.
Last November there came to Rome
Mr.. P. Petrovits, an artist. He had
commission to paint the King and
Queen of Italy, or should say their
portraits, for the King Kallakau of
Hawaii. He spoke Of Hawaii as being
his home. He painted the portraits,
but was ill nearly all winter, and died
in June last. He had not large sum
of money, but enough to pay his small
debts and funeral expenses. | wrote
to the Government OF Hawaii of his
death. At Honolulu he does not ap-
pear to have any relatives.
On examining his papers | found
that he was a naturalized citizen of
the United States of America, had re-
sided in San Francisco and Los An
geles and had deeds of land in the lat
ter place. l am now going to consign
the property he left to the United
States Consul in Rome. Perhaps if
YOU would mention his death in your
journal, the notice might come under
the eyes of some one interested in
him. He has been something of
wanderer and told me he had been
three times around the world.
l remain your obedient servant
J. G. HOOKER,
Consul General in Italy for the King
Kalakau.

sherman,s Nomination.

TOLEDO, July 26.-Great interest is
] taken in the proceedings of the coming
( State Republican convention, because
5of the fact that a resolution will be
offered endorsing Senator Sherman for
4 tine Presidential nomination. There is
inc doubt the resolution will carry in the
convention. The two things in doubt,
ahowever, are how strongly it will be
! Opposed on the floor by that
Ebody, and whether the opposi-
ton can muster sufficient strength
Ito break the. force before the
icounty of the endorsement. The OPP
1 ponents of the resolution claim they
!, lean muster at least one-third of the
I convention, while the supporters of it
sdeclare it will go through with whirl,
sand that the opposition will be too in
asignifcant to amount to anything but
ian exhibition of personal dislike.
TOLEDO, o., July 26.-Several anti
fisherman men arrived on later train,
summoned here by kilograms. The
gevening has been spent in efforts at con-
] ciliation and the Senator's friends claim,
at midnight, there will be no serious
deposition to the passage of resolution
sof endorsement. 1t seems probable at
4thls writing that the policy of concilia-
! ton will win, the argument being that
4 resolution can have no binding effect
upon the conventions next year to select
! delegates to the national convention !;
lthat Sherman's long and splendid ser
I vice entities him to resolution of en-
5dorsement, and that Ohio Republicans
can not afford to politically slaughter
Ether greatest man. Probably the en-
sdorsement will be introduced to-mor-
! row early in the session, and not be
postponed to Friday, as first proposed.
I If there is no opposition, it will pass.
] If there is any objection. it will be re-
Sferred to a committee on resolutions
and passed on Thursday.

CHICAGO, July 26.-In the Doodle trial

very damaging.
Eliacha Robinson, wholesale grocer,

The BehIe Case.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-some weeks
ago, General Black, Commissioner OF
Pensions, with the approval of the Sec
Rotary of the Interior, ordered the dis
missal of Behle, special pension exam
liner at Cincinnati, upon the informa-
ton that Behle. at meeting OF Ger,
man Library Society, July I'd, used
grossly insulting language towards the
President of the United States. Suisse
.quently, the Secretary ordered the sus,
pension of the order of dismissal until
lBehIe could be heard in his own behalf.
BehIe appeared at the Interior Depart
|ment and was given a personal hearing
lby the Secretary. He did not deny the
charge, which was substantiated by atfi.
idavits of several prominent people OF
IOincinnati, but said he had no recollec-
ton of using the language attributed to
him. At the conclusion of the inter
view, the Secretary revoked his order
of suspension, thus dismissing Belle

dprofessed strange attachment for and
